Welcome to the Literature Contest's voting thread. Most of our participants will be found in the Entry Thread. Voting rules are simple.

1. The voting period will last 2 weeks, concluding on November 3rd.2. Simply post the name of the person you wish to vote for. Feel free to add feedback to your post(s).3. Each person gets 1 vote. If it becomes unclear who you're voting for, feel free to PM me.4. NO CHEATING: Things like copying a work that wasn't your own, or creating alternative accounts to boost your votes, will lead to disqualification.

So voting's open, yes? Thank god for the word limit, wouldn't have made it through the list without. I vote for Tuor's, mostly for being short and to the point, and containing delightfully varied, interesting language.

Well, now that Veggy broke the ice and I consider it impolite to vote for myself, I vote for Thy_Obsessive_Freak's story, mostly for being the story I held onto most fervently until the very end. It had me begging for closure.

Took a couple of days to get around to reading everything, so don't be surprised if until the last days of the voting period people are still voting.

The Chronometal Wars, a fan-fiction taking place in the PPGD Universe. Catastrophe is the only certainty.

"Suddenly Frodo noticed that a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall, was also listening intently to the hobbit-talk. He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved. His legs were stretched out before him, showing high boots of supple leather that fitted him well, but had seen much wear and were now caked with mud. A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green cloth was drawn close about him, and in spite of the heat of the room he wore a hood that overshadowed his face; but the gleam of his eyes could be seen as he watched the hobbits."

Am I the only one who thinks that's kind of a boring "Every man for themselves" way of doing it, not to mention it will either lead to a hilarious tie or a hilarious one sided victory due to everyone voting for themselves except like two guys. Reminds me of that one scene in Pirates.

Oh well. We only have like- what, a DAY? Maybe two? I think I'll keep my vote the same. I never intended to win anyway. What would I do with a gift card?
